An electronic timepiece is provided with a device for automatically adjusting month-end calendar dates capable of reading dates simply, quickly, and reliably. A date detection pattern 71 composed of reflective and non-reflective sections is formed on the rear surface of a date dial 70. When the date dial 70 rotates, a change in the boundary between the reflective part and the non-reflective part is read by a photo sensor 81, the necessary number of dates is determined by a control circuit 20 by use of a perpetual calendar circuit, driving a date dial driving mechanisms 51 and 52.

An electronic timepiece has a calendar advancement device resistant to external shock and capable of achieving date correction in a short time. A date dial advancement transducer (51) is activated in response to a date dial drive signal generated by a 24-hour switch. A date advancement mechanism (a date gear train) (52) employs a Geneva wheel for stabilizing the date dial (70). A bounding restraint lever is regulated using an eccentric cam or the like provided coaxially with the Geneva wheel.

To provide an electronic watch with calendar without the need to adjust the calendar when the watch is restarted. A control mechanism 133 is provided which uses a signal from a 24-hour switch 12 which operates in synchronism with a time mechanism converter 6 as a signal for operating a date display drive converter 51 during normal watch operation, and uses a signal from a 24-hour counter which receives a signal from a time mechanism circuit 60 as a signal for operating the date display drive converter 51 at other times.

A switch (201) is conjoined with a hand driving gear train (107) and provided with at least three or more contact groups (203, 204, 205) turned on at least once in each 24 hours. A calendar indicating member is updated according to an order of closing each contact. The matching between the time indicating and the calendar indicating can be accomplished when a user modifies the time display.

A camera capable of compensating for facial field of a person to a proper brightness, and maintaining the luminance scale of the background, comprising an imaging portion for generating the picture data of the person; a gamma compensator for performing gamma compensation for the picture data; a facial field detecting portion for detecting a facial field from the picture data; a photometric portion for exposure metering value of the facial field detected by the facial field detecting portion; an exposure controlling portion for calculating a target exposure amount in response to the output of the photometric portion and controlling exposure depending on the target exposure amount; and a gamma compensation controlling portion for determining a luminance scale characteristic in accordance with the target exposure amount, wherein the gamma compensating portion is controlled on the basis of the luminance scale characteristic determined by the gamma compensation controlling portion.
摘要:
In an electronic watch, a hand wheel gear 109b in a gear train has a tooth 124 having a profile K so as to prevent the backward movement of a hand 104. During initialization, the gear train is rotated backward such that the hand 104 is turned to the backward movement preventing position, which serves as an initializing position, and a reference position during detection of a hand position. Usually, a backward movement command is issued when the hand 104 is supposed to be at the reference position. The hand 104 is judged to be out of the reference position when its backward movement is detected.

Impact detecting resistors (141), (143) of an impact detecting circuit (104) detect a counter electromotive force of a step motor (105) generated due to an impact. This counter electromotive force is amplified applying a predetermined period and a predetermined chopper-width by a chopper-amplifying waveform shaping circuit (118). Therefore, even a light impact can be detected. Inverters (145), (146) compare these impact detecting signals (S22), (S23) with a threshold value and detect an impact when the signals exceeds the threshold value. A controlling circuit (102) provides a lock pulse to the step motor (105) through signal lines (AA), (BB) when an impact is detected, brakes rotation of a rotor (162) thereby preventing a deviation of the time displayed with a second hand (106).

A power supply unit having a power generation portion 1 and a power storage portion 4 to supply power to an electronic watch 3. The power storage portion is formed by a plurality of cells 41, 42, each having the same capacity and having switches 51, 52 connected in series, a switch 53 is connected in series between the plurality of cells 41, 42, and these switches 51, 52, and 53 are switched by signals from a voltage detector circuit 6. This arrangement reduces initial actuation time and expands the time for which the electronic appliance continues to operate.

When video data is reproduced by a recording/reproduction unit, an output unit outputs occurrence information on an object, which is not included in the video data being output by the output unit but is included the video data recorded on a recording medium, to a display unit. While the video data is being reproduced from the recording medium by the recording/reproduction unit, an instruction specifying a predetermined object condition including a non-reproduction object is input based on the occurrence information and the reproduction operation is performed by extracting video data satisfying the object condition.
